I've been looking into form I-134 affidavit of support. I'm slightly confused and was wondering if anyone knew anything more about it?

 

I am the beneficiary and my partner Savannah is the petitioner. Her income can be a little hit and miss and currently just about covers the minimum financial requirements to sponsor me to enter the country on K1. 

 

I saw that sometimes they will take into account the beneficiaries ability to work (age/health/physical ability) and wont look so closely at the petitioners financial income.

 

I have also heard one of her family members could sponsor me instead. Her father has offered but I can't find a clear cut answer online on whether this would be acceptable or not. Anyone know the details?

 

Thanks very much!! 

Yes a family member can help sponsor you. Below is some Guidelines for the I-134. The last paragraph would pertain to you.

 

 

All sponsors must submit the following documentation with their Form I-134, Affidavit of Support:

 

1. Proof of current employment or self employment.  A letter from your employer on company
letterhead showing your income is good evidence.  You must also include at a minimum your last
four pay stubs.   
 
2. A photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of your complete Federal income
tax return for your most recent tax year, or an explanation if it is not submitted.  If you  are self-
employed, you should have completed one of the following forms with your Federal income tax
return: Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business), Schedule D (Capital Gains), Schedule E
(Supplemental Income or Loss) or Schedule F (Profit or Loss from Farming). You must include each
and every Form 1040 Schedule, if any, that you filed with your Federal tax return. If you don't have a copy of your tax return, you can order a transcript at no charge from the IRS  
here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=110571,00.html

 

3. Your W-2s and/or 1099 forms (photocopies only, not originals).

 

4. You may also, at your option, submit a photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued
transcript of your complete Federal income tax returns for your second and third most recent tax
years if you believe these additional tax returns may help you establish the ability to maintain your
household income at the governing threshold set forth in Form I-864P, Poverty Guidelines.  You can
see the Poverty Guidelines here:  http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf.
 
5. Occasionally a consulate will ask for your last 6-9 months bank statements, especially if you are  
self employed.  If possible, you should go ahead and include these bank statements just in case.
The Form I-134 must have your original signature.  This means you must sign and mail to the
alien.  They will not accept a scanned or faxed signature!

 

If you are using the income of persons in your household or dependents to qualify as a sponsor,
you must also submit a separate Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member,
plus all of the evidence listed above for each person whose income you will use.

There are lots of NOA2s coming in mail without an update on case tracker.

Ok. Thank you

Ok Thanks much, how will I know that they have received it or that the USCIS has sent it over??  Also, John I really hope you hear something soon. You are so nice and calming and optimistic.

You wont know they received it until you call nvc and they actually say they have received it. Wait 2-3 weeks after approval then start calling NVC every other day. And NVC takes calls late (until midnight on the east coast). It was like 9pm east coast time when i call and got my info.

30 to 45 days for USCIS to send it to NVC. 2 to 3 weeks at NVC and then maybe another week to get to the Embassy.  Hopefully USCIS starts sending things quicker. That is the long part of the wait. 

 

Congratulations!

NVC is moving faster my friend, less than week after received. Hope they keep this up.

Hello Junies, 

Could anyone tell me if I can already schedule the medical and start collecting documents like I-130 and Police certificate and stuff? My NOA 2 was Jan 11th. I would think it's too early but my embassy is like the least busiest, so I figured that -+ 40 days for NVC and 2 weeks while they process the petition/send it to the embassy/give me the interview date is not that big amount of time. The medical expires in 6 months. I don't know why I can't start collecting all of that now, but maybe I should wait more? 

Please do not despair dear May and June filers. You are strong and there is less waiting every day.
 

You should be able to start collecting information,   It depends on embassy but most will not schedule medical until you have the NVC number so it is early for that.   I had my fiancee get the Police 20 days after the noa 2 figured we should be good on time.
